By IRNA,
Doha : Representatives of Lebanese political parties reached a deal on Wednesday to end the protracted political crisis.
Delegates from various Lebanese parties gathered in the Qatari capital since last Friday to reach an agreement on putting an end to 18 months of political conflict.
The negotiating delegates agreed on the election of Michel Suleiman as the new president of Lebanon, formation of a national reconciliation government in that country and enforcement of the country’s electoral law for parliamentary polls which was approved in 1960.
Reports coming from the site of the talks said members of a six-member committee formed to iron out differences over Lebanon’s electoral law which was approved in 1960, suggested amendments to the constituency of Lebanese capital of Beirut.
The committee made the decision ahead of a Wednesday deadline for the Doha talks to wrap up.
The delegates are now working on the final statement which is expected to be presented to the closing session of Doha talks due to be held later on Wednesday.
Amir of Qatar, Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, attended the talks in Doha and held separate talks for several times with the Lebanese delegates.
